#1

Good morning, Sarah! Welcome to today's English discussion class.

#2

Good morning, Amy! I'm really excited to be here today.

#3

That's wonderful to hear! Today we will practice sharing opinions.

#4

Oh, that sounds interesting. I sometimes feel nervous about speaking up.

#5

Don't worry! Everyone feels that way at first. Let me explain the activity.

#6

Sure, I'm listening. What do we need to do exactly?

#7

I will give you a topic, and you will share your opinion about it.

#8

Okay, that doesn't sound too difficult. What is the topic?

#9

Today's topic is this: Should people learn a second language in school?

#10

In my opinion, yes! I think that learning languages opens many doors.

#11

Great start! Can you give me an example to support your opinion?

#12

For example, I have met many interesting people because I study English.

#13

Excellent! You used a real example from your own life. That is very convincing.

#14

Now, let's practice something harder. What if someone disagrees with you?

#15

Hmm, I'm not sure how to respond when someone disagrees with me.

#16

You can say, "I understand your point, but I still believe that..." Try it!

#17

Okay. I understand your point, but I still believe that languages are important.

#18

Perfect! It is also fine to agree with part of someone's opinion.

#19

So I could say, "I agree with you about that, but I also think..."?

#20

Exactly! You are learning very quickly. That was a natural response.

#21

Before we finish, let me ask you one more question about group work.

#22

Of course! I have been enjoying this class so much today.

#23

In group work, how can you encourage a quiet classmate to share?

#24

I think I would say, "What is your opinion? I'd love to hear it."

#25

That is a wonderful approach because it makes people feel welcome and safe.

#26

Thank you, Amy! I feel much more confident about class discussions now.

#27

You should be proud! You have practiced many useful phrases today. See you next week!
